This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
NOTICE: Some online security services are reporting that information for a limited number of users from this site is for sale on the "dark web." As of right now, there is no direct evidence of this, but change your password just to be safe.

The Woke morons are going after Steve Jackson Games
« on: April 13, 2019, 08:45:19 PM »
Enworld, the Big Purple, and the rest of the mentally ill adolescents are trying to scalp SJ Games for their evil partnership with the wrong thinkers at Frog God Games.

Remember: never try to find common ground with the left. It's not possible. Ignore them. Don't engage. They are like children that will scream and kick on their beds but after 45 minutes or so they tire themselves out. Leftists hate markets because their nonsense fails at the market.

If SJ Games backs down because Phil Reed would rather be liked by the woke social media people he desperately wants to be friends with over his actual customers I'm done with that company.

And Phil, as a Gamer of Color, I don't want to see you bend the knee to these people that are not your customers!

Links?

Also, what is SJG doing with Frog God?

Let's not forget Frog God was the SJW darling just a few years ago doing an "all female" version of S&W. So even when you pander to them, you get nothing.

Google Bill Webb Paizocon.

If there's something more about FGG than that, someone can update this.

Well, SJGames has had SJWs working for them in the past. Probably still do. So I don't know what problem they would be having, other than a low simmer.

It's an odd geek behavior to require a full explanation to be practically tortured from them line by line. The speed of online communication exacerbates this phenomena.

So has something new happened in the 18 months since that came out? IOW, why are we having this thread now?

Personally, I find the whole thing hilarious. FGG tried to get on the SJW bandwagon, it failed, now they are being hoisted by their own petard.

And Bill Webb is a jerk, even if his behavior wasn't actually criminal.


And personally, I don't understand what's in it for SJW. Wasn't there a world developed for The Fantasy Trip? I'm not an expert, but I could swear I have one product I picked up in a used book store for it. Something Darlok or other.   The Long Lands from FGG was originally developed for 3e, then 5e. How can it possibly fit The Fantasy Trip?

Game rules are like the laws of physics to a world. You can't just match them willy nilly. Even D&D flavors - when Mystara got converted to AD&D 2e, it took away everything unique about the world

I've looked over ENW and rpgnet and I can't see anything, either.

I wasn't aware that Frog God Games had attempted to pander to SJWs sensibilities. Care to elaborate ?

If it is the same thing I think it is then they did an "all woman artist" version of one of their RPGs. If so then if I recall right it did not come across as very SJW, at least at first. They were not crowing it as these virtue signalling stunts tend to do.
